530: Defense system (1)

Defense system (1)

Samuel wasn't certain of what Billy was talking about, but he decided to wait for that. In the meantime, they spared together every day. Both of them were gaining from that somehow, after all.2

After two weeks, Billy finally learned the technique that he envisioned when he saw Samuel on the ground and then decided to show him on the next spar. As usual, they started by fighting with their fists alone, and Billy focused on defense. However, when he saw an opening, he punched Samuel in the middle of his stomach… The attack barely caused any physical damage, but Samuel still felt his body getting heavier, and his breathing got haggard. Thanks to that, he was unable to fight like before, and Billy easily landed more hits on him until Samuel lost all his stamina and fell to the ground.

"What was…" Samuel said, visibly shocked.

"Let's see, I will call this skill… Physical Disturbance," Billy said.

Physical Disturbance: it grants you the power to directly damage the stamina of the target. The damage caused to the target's stamina will be equal to the level of the skill.

Cost: 10 mana per attack.

Billy explained what the skill could do and how it worked for Samuel, and he wondered how Billy came up with such an amazing skill so fast… Actually, he knew how. Samuel saw his brother practicing every day, and when he wasn't practicing, he was meditating, trying to understand how the skill was supposed to work perfectly. It still was kind of amazing that he did that in just two weeks, but Samuel expected nothing less from his big brother.

When he saw his little brother exhausted, he had the idea for that skill. After that, he thought of how it could work… In the end, he just had to apply some mana to disturb some of the internal organs that are responsible for making the blood flow to the body. Since they were connected, Billy could make their stamina decrease quite easily… It was a perfect skill to take down enemies without killing them.

"Hah… I suppose I still have a long path ahead of myself," Samuel said after a long sigh. "Even though I learned all those things from you, I still don't get even close to your strength. Maybe I should learn some techniques on my own to surprise you."

"That might work. Who knows," Billy said and then smiled.

"Ah, if I come up with something amazing, I won't teach you," Samuel said and then laughed.

"Stingy, cheapskate," Billy said and then facepalmed while smiling.

Billy wondered if that much would be enough to make his little brother realize that he could become stronger without only caring about the stronger and ignoring those who were weak than him. A message like that was better than a sermon for someone of his age… Billy was also like that in the past. He couldn't get the message passed by those that only tried to teach him things when they always tried to look like they were above him. It was easier to accept the messages of those who stood on equal ground.

For the next few days, Billy sparred with his little brother and taught him a few things more than he had learned since the last time. Although it wasn't accurate to say that it was impossible for him, it would be difficult for Samuel to learn Mana Constructs, so Billy decided to focus on what he certainly could do. However, he had to stop when he received some messages from his spies and Icarus and Lucyna. They told him the same thing: the necromancer attacked the temple city with an army of undead and then stole the relic that was below the temple.

"Shit… he really did that…" Billy thought. "I thought that it was a relic that focuses on support and healing magic and that usually wouldn't be useful to necromancers, but…"

Billy immediately asked if they saw the traces of where he headed next, but they didn't know… it was weird, they had the chance to attack the temple city while he was busy destroying the dungeons, and yet they didn't do that. Billy couldn't say what the necromancer was thinking… Still, if they stole the relic of the temple city, then their next target might be the samurai capital.

"There was also a chance that he might target me since I have that hammer…" Billy furrowed his eyebrows. "Why do they need the corpses of fallen reincarnated and those old relics…"

Billy wanted to help Sei protect his hometown, but he couldn't leave now… there was a chance that the enemy might target his family to get their hands on the magic hammer. Still, the fact that the necromancer attacked the temple city without starting a fight maybe was a sign that he won't kill anyone in Meido state.

"That being said… The necromancer is getting stronger, insanely strong with those assets," Billy thought. "Things might get troublesome if I don't do something…"

Billy wasn't sure if that would work, but he had a plan… He had a few, in fact, but he would need to keep improving his magic skills in order to be able to pull them off. He had summoned some monsters and hid them in the dungeons and in his newest hideout to let them grow, but it would take a while for them to become impressive assets. Right now, Billy would need quantity over quality. With that in mind, he began to summon some specific Golems…
